Railway Map

History

June 5 2017

We have found a 1973 Victorian Railways map showing various stations in the network at a time it was considered at its peak.

The marked distance between Deniliquin station and Spencer Street (now known as Southern Cross) is 306 kilometres.

Between Deniliquin and Echuca were the stations of Mathoura, Moira and Moama.

The line between Echuca and Deniliquin was split off between Moama and Moira and created a line that went all the way up to Balranald with stops in places like Caldwell and Wakool.

There is also a line to a place called Warragoon but it is not the Warragoon near Deniliquin, this Warragoon is 83km east of that place.

Deniliquin lost its rail service in January 1979 whilst Balranald lost their service in 1975 and many services in country Victoria were shut down by the mid 1990’s with some services brought back in recent times.

EDIT: Information on Warragoon line added, scanned map expanded to include Warragoon.

Pick 10 for funding chance

News

Edward River Council has 56 proposals for people in the Council area to consider being funded by the NSW Stronger Communities Fund.

Sadly all the proposals would cost around $20 million dollars to do and there is only 8.6 million dollars to play with so choices have to be made.

Residents have the opportunity to pick up to ten selections they think deserve to be funded.

One proposal that would be of interest to DNS readers is Proposal 52 which reads the following.

Project 52 – Council Pool – Multiply Uses and Increase Users
Pool Complex in Poictiers Street – Convert existing pool complex to indoor facility and add splash pool high quality facilities.
Estimated Cost: $2,000,000 (inc GST)

There are also proposals that concern roads and recycling, two issues that DNS readers feel very strongly about fixing and enacting.

But there is one potential drawback to everything, the most popular proposal is no guarantee of being funding as it comes down to the independently run Stronger Communities Fund Assessment Panel.

Don’t forget that Deniliquin now has to share funding with other towns as part of the Deniliquin Council and Conargo Shire merger so there is no certainty it will be a Deniliquin dominated outcome too.

To vote in the survey, please click here and if you want to read more about the proposals click here, voters have until 5pm on Friday June 9 to submit their answers.
